AFP Fundraising Day 2012

A selection of social media updates from AFP Fundraising Day, May 23rd in Toronto.

  1. One targeted proposal is so much more effective than 100 generic letters #FRDay12
  2. There isn't always a link between branding and corporate philanthropy #afpfrday
  3. Gayle from RBC - make your proposal like a resume - sell your org! Great! #AFPfrday
  4. Building an alumni tip #1 - understand the donor experience #AFPFrDay
  5. Develop a mutual understanding of each other's work between front-line staff & fundraisers to best work together. #FRDay12
  6. Research companies using CSR reports, website before approaching #frday12
  7. "Every donation is a gift. Not sale or something owed, but a gift." Tenny Nigoghossian #FRDay12
  8. Donors don't care about the process within your organization They want to know their donation has been received & being put to work #FrDay12
  9. Our job as fundraisers and leaders is to push back when ethics are in question - Dianne Lister #FrDay12
  10. Fundraising trend: donors more connected to causes than orgs. If you can't provide a GREAT donor experience, they'll go elsewhere. #FRDay12

  12. We need to build shared pride in fundraising success. #frday12
  13. We have to ask people. You need just to make it happen. There is always something burning. Focus on what's important, not urgent. #frday12
